fda (version 2.4.0)

fdaMatlabPath: Add 'fdaM' to the Matlab path

Description

Write a sequence of Matlab commands to fdaMatlabPath.m in the working directory containing commands to add fdaM to the path for Matlab.

Usage

fdaMatlabPath(R.matlab)

Arguments

R.matlab
logical: If TRUE, include '~R/library/R.matlab/externals' in the path. If(missing(R.matlab)) include '~R/library/R.matlab/externals' only if R.matlab is installed.

Value

  • A character vector of Matlab addpath commands is returned invisibly.

Details

  • USAGE
{ If your Matlab installation does NOT have a startup.m file, it might be wise to copy fdaMatlabPath.m into a directory where Matlab would look for startup.m, then rename it to startup.m. If you have a startup.m, you could add the contents of fdaMatlabPath.m to startup.m. Alternatively, you can copy fdaMatlabPath.m into the directory containing startup.m and add the following to the end of startup.m: lll{ if exist('fdaMatlabPath') fdaMatlabPath ; end } } ALGORITHM{ 1. path2fdaM = path to the Matlab/fdaM subdiretory of the fda installation directory. 2. Find all subdirectories of path2fdaM except those beginning in '@' or including 'private'. 3. if(requires(R.matlab)) add the path to MatlabServer.m to dirs2add 4. d2a <- paste("addpath('", dirs2add, "');", sep='') 5. writeLines(d2a, 'fdaMatlabPath.m') 6. if(exists(startupFile)) append d2a to it }

Run this code
# Modify the Matlab startup.m only when you really want to,
# typically once per installation ... certaintly not
# every time we test this package.
